Partner opportunity with ACTionism: Empowering Community Action Across the UK

ACTionism is a movement inspiring people to take action in their communities and "find the others."

Born from showcasing real people making a difference locally, ACTionism has evolved into an online hub connecting changemakers who believe meaningful change happens when ordinary people step into their agency as active citizens.

The opportunity - Sponsor ACTionism Spotlights

We're looking for a partner ready to invest £20,000 annually in amplifying grassroots community action through our Spotlight call series and associated content.

ACTionism Spotlight calls are monthly live conversations with inspiring community actionists and organisations.

Currently, we have around 200+ people register with 60-100 attending live calls, with recordings published on YouTube and clips shared across social media by advocates and influencers. Each call includes practical action guides and breakout room networking time for participants to connect with like-minded individuals.

Previous ACTionism Spotlight Calls:

• Smart School Council - empowering student voice in school decision-making
• Playful Anywhere (Using the power of play to start conversations within your communities about how spaces and places are designed and influence wellbeing)
• CAN Team - community action networks driving local environmental change
• Democracy Fitness - building democratic participation skills and civic engagement
• Open Collective - transparent funding platforms for community initiatives
• Pol.is - digital tools for inclusive community decision-making

Confirmed Future Spoltights include:

• Smartphone Free Childhood - tackling children's digital wellbeing through parent power
• Warwick Bike Bus - creating safer, sustainable school journeys whilst building community connections

Why partner with ACTionism?

• Communities face complex challenges but lack connections and practical guidance to drive change. ACTionism bridges this gap by showcasing real people making a difference, then providing tools for others to replicate success locally.
• All our work to date has been voluntary with minimal funding. Sponsorship will enable dedicated promotional resources for the first time, significantly expanding reach and impact.
• We measure success beyond numbers - through authentic connections formed during calls, ongoing collaborations between participants, and concrete actions taken post-call, from starting local initiatives to joining existing movements.

• Authentic alignment with grassroots community empowerment
• Association with solution-focused activism that inspires action
• Access to engaged audience ready to take action in their communities
• Brand positioning alongside positive social change

We Provide:

• Primary sponsorship of monthly Spotlight call series

• Co-branded action guides distributed to participants and online audience
• Featured partnership content on website and social channels
